Extended Investigation of the Aqueous Self-Assembling Behavior of a Newly Designed Fluorinated Surfactant
2009
The physicochemical behavior of the newly synthesized fluorinated 5-hydroxyamino-3-perfluoroheptyl-1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-one (PFHO) surfactant was investigated. Thermal analysis showed that the pure surfactant is thermally stable under an inert atmosphere to 135 degrees C, which is several degrees higher than the melting point (99 degrees C). PFHO is rather active at the water/air interface where it assumes a standing up configuration. It exhibits an enhanced self-assembling behavior; accordingly, the critical micellar concentrations at some temperatures are 2 orders of magnitude lower than those of a similar surfactant having the same phobicity, such as sodium perfluorooctanoate. Even in the d…
Micellar Liquid Chromatography: Fundamentals
2015
The reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode with surfactant above the critical micellar concentration (CMC) has been called micellar liquid chromatography (MLC). In pure micellar systems, the retention behavior is explained by considering three phases or environments: surfactant-modified stationary phase, bulk aqueous solvent, and micellar pseudo-phase. Surfactant adsorption on the porous RPLC packing affects chromatographic retention, owing to the change of diverse surface properties of the stationary phase. In pure micellar systems, the retention behavior is explained by considering three phases or environments: surfactant-modified stationary phase, bulk aqueous solvent, and mice…
Correlation between hydrophobicity and retention data of several antihistamines in reversed-phase liquid chromatography with aqueous-organic and mice…
2000
Abstract The correlation between the retention of 12 antihistamines (carbinoxamine, chlorpheniramine, cyclizine, cyproheptadine, dexbrompheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, pheniramine, phenyltoloxamine, pyrilamine and tripelennamine), in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with aqueous-organic (methanol-water) and micellar-organic (sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-pentanol) mobile phases of varying composition, and their octanol-water partition coefficients expressed as log P o/w (ranging between 2.02 for pheniramine and 4.92 for cyproheptadine), was examined. For this study, the retention of the drugs was measured in six mobile phases of methanol-water, and…
A thermodynamic study to evidence the alpha,omega-dichloroalkane/ block copolymer mixed aggregates formation: effect of the copolymer architecture.
2006
Abstract The thermodynamics of α , ω -dichloroalkanes in aqueous solutions of (ethylene oxide)11(propylene oxide)16(ethylene oxide)11 (L35) and (propylene oxide)8(ethylene oxide)23(propylene oxide)8 (10R5) was determined at 298 and 305 K. Modeling the experimental data allowed to calculate the standard free energy ( Δ G D o / w ) and the volume ( Δ V D / w ) for the additive–copolymer mixed aggregates formation per additive molecule. Δ G D o / w for Cl2CH2 and Cl2(CH2)2 evidenced that the process is controlled by the forces exercising between the chlorine atoms and the OH groups of the copolymer micelles protruded into the aqueous phase. Cl2(CH2)3 experiences both the hydrophilic and hydrop…
Binding between (Ethylene Oxide)13−(Propylene Oxide)30−(Ethylene Oxide)13 and Sodium Decanoate. Volume, Enthalpy, and Heat Capacity Studies
2002
Volume, enthalpy, and heat capacity of transfer (ΔYt) of (ethylene oxide)13−(propylene oxide)30−(ethylene oxide)13 (L64), at some concentrations, from water to the aqueous sodium decanoate (NaDec) solutions as functions of the surfactant concentration (mS) were determined at 298 K. The copolymer was studied in both the unassociated and associated forms. For a given L64 concentration (mC), the ΔYt vs mS profiles for the volume and the enthalpy are equal but different from that of the heat capacity because the latter contains also the relaxation terms. The experimental data were analyzed by assuming the distribution of L64 between the aqueous and the micellar phases and the shift of micelliza…
Heat Capacity of Transfer of (Ethylene oxide)13-(propylene oxide)30-(ethylene oxide)13 from Water to the Aqueous Anionic Surfactant Solutions at 298 …
2004
Heat capacities of transfer (ACpt) of unimeric (ethylene oxide)(13)-(propylene oxide)(30)-(ethylene oxide)(13) from water to the aqueous surfactant solutions as functions of the surfactant concentrations (m(S)) were determined at 298 K. The surfactants investigated are sodium hexanoate, sodium heptanoate, sodium octanoate, sodium undecanoate, and sodium dodecanoate. For short alkyl chain surfactants, the profiles of the DeltaCp(t) versus ms curves show maxima and minima; for long alkyl chain surfactants, the maximum becomes sharper and moved to lower ms values whereas the minimum tends to disappear. These experimental trends are different from those of the enthalpy in agreement with the fac…
Aqueous block copolymer-surfactant mixtures and their ability in solubilizing chlorinated organic compounds. A thermodynamic and SANS study.
2006
Within the topic of surfactant enhanced solubilization of additives sparingly soluble in water, volumetric, solubility, conductivity, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on mixtures composed of alpha,omega-dichloroalkane, surfactant, copolymer, and water were carried out at 298 K. The triblock copolymers (ethylene oxide)132(propylene oxide)50(ethylene oxide)132 (F108) and (ethylene oxide)76(propylene oxide)29(ethylene oxide)76 (F68) were chosen to investigate the role of the molecular weight keeping constant the hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio. The selected surfactants are sodium decanoate (NaDec) and decyltrimethylammonium bromide (DeTAB) with comparable hydrophobicity and …
Solubilization of an Organic Solute in Aqueous Solutions of Unimeric Block Copolymers and Their Mixtures with Monomeric Surfactant: Volume, Surface T…
2008
The ability of aqueous systems, formed by unimeric copolymers and their mixtures with a monomeric surfactant, in solubilizing large quantities of 1-nitropropane (PrNO2) was explored. The copolymers are F68 and L64, which differ for the hydrophilicity, and the surfactant is sodium dodecanoate. For a better understanding of the mechanism of solubilization, thermodynamic (volume and differential scanning calorimetry), spectroscopy (steady-state fluorescence), viscosity, and interfacial investigations were carried out. PrNO2 causes the micellization of the unimeric copolymer, and the required amount of PrNO2 depends on the composition, the copolymer nature, and the temperature. Large quantities…
Adsorption of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate on a C18column under micellar and high submicellar conditions in reversed-phase liquid ch…
2015
Micellar liquid chromatography makes use of aqueous solutions or aqueous-organic solutions containing a surfactant, at a concentration above its critical micelle concentration. In the mobile phase, the surfactant monomers aggregate to form micelles, whereas on the surface of the nonpolar alkyl-bonded stationary phases they are significantly adsorbed. If the mobile phase contains a high concentration of organic solvent, micelles break down, and the amount of surfactant adsorbed on the stationary phase is reduced, giving rise to another chromatographic mode named high submicellar liquid chromatography. The presence of a thinner coating of surfactant enhances the selectivity and peak shape, es…
Volumes of Polar Additives in Aqueous Solutions of the Poly(ethylene oxide)13−Poly(propylene oxide)30− Poly(ethylene oxide)13 Triblock Copolymer at 2…
1999
Density measurements of poly(ethylene oxide)13−poly(propylene oxide)30−poly(ethylene oxide)13 (L64)−water and alcohol−L64−water systems were carried out at 293 and 301 K. The alcohols studied are propanol to pentanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (F3EtOH) to 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutanol (F7BuOH). From the experimental data of the water−L64 binary system as functions of L64 concentration (mC), the partial molar volumes of L64 in the standard state and in the aqueous and micellar phases were calculated. At both temperatures L64 micelle is formed by a core of pure polypropylene oxide units and a hydrated shell of poly(ethylene oxide) units. In the case of the ternary systems, the apparent mol…
